Performance, Style, Function
You Expect from a Teryx 750 4x4 – with
Room for Four!

Kawasaki Teryx4 EPS 4x4 UTV features an
all new roomy cockpit |
Twice as much of a good thing is always better,
right? Absolutely. So you knew Kawasaki would
eventually double the Teryx’s substantial
fun and function factor by adding two seats –
enough for more friends, extra help or the whole
family.
The result is the all-new 2012 Teryx4™
750 4x4 – a top-of-the-line four-seat
RUV with truly amazing capabilities.
Of course, Kawasaki didn’t just bolt
two extra seats to the Teryx 750’s chassis
and call it a day. Engineers figured out exactly
what was needed to do the four-seat Rec/Utility
concept right, redesigning the entire machine
from tip to tail with an all-new chassis and
a thoroughly reworked V-twin engine pumping
out extra power for the additional load the
Teryx4 will gladly carry.
The foundation of any top-tier RUV four-wheeler
– especially one with four seats and significant
carrying capacity – is its frame, so Kawasaki
engineers used detailed computer analysis and
loads of off-road testing when developing the
Teryx4’s all-new square-tube steel frame.
Unlike the more conventional designs found on
many lighter-duty two-seat RUV models, the Teryx4
features a Double-X frame design with two X-shaped
cross members bridging the box structures from
corner to corner.

Kawasaki Teryx4 EPS 4x4 UTV liquid-cooled
V-Twin engine |
Like the frame, the Teryx4’s 749cc V-twin
four-stroke engine is also new, offering 15
percent more power than the already stout unit
in the 2-seat Teryx, along with all the durability
to deal with the rigors of spirited fun in challenging
off-road environments. The V-twin design is
revered for its stump-pulling power and easy-to-harness
flexibility, which makes it the perfect powerplant
for a machine like the Teryx4, which thrives
on instantaneous and controllable low- and mid-range
response partnered with eye-opening hauling
ability. In fact, engineers purposely gave the
big Vee a bit of a dual personality: there’s
exciting, arm-straightening yank when ridden
solo or with a single passenger, but plenty
of torque and grunt for carrying more people
or heavier loads – much of it due to revised
camshaft profiles and equal-length exhaust headers.
Liquid cooling – assisted by a large-volume
radiator and large-diameter fan – keeps
temperatures down and reliability up with help
from an array of superb engineering: optimized
piston-wall thickness; special surface treatments
to piston pins, small and big end bearing surfaces;
idealized crank journal bearing sizes; robust
transmission design; and much more.
Electronic fuel injection – featuring
new fine-atomizing 12-hole injectors –
offers easy starts and perfect throttle response
at sea level and at the higher elevations you’ll
want to discover again and again. The FI system
offers automatic mixture compensation, automatic
idle adjustment and easy, choke-free starting
via a sophisticated array of sensors for inlet
air pressure, throttle position, crankshaft
position, rpm and coolant temperature.
